First 20 minutes taken up with fire updates and weather report, and several breaks for fire information during the show, so it’s a shorter playlist than usual.

This was a tough show to put together. Mindful of all the suffering and chaos being experienced by fire victims and refugees, and stricken with grief at the sudden loss of a dear old friend. I hoped the music might help people – including me – find some beauty and joy in adversity.

Fara “Changing Plans” from cross the line (2016) on Nordic Notes

Mary Ann Kennedy “Seinn, Horo, Seinn” from An Dan (2017) on ARC Music

The House Band “Joy After Sorrow” from Groundwork (1993) on Green Linnet

Terrific response to Colleen’s playlist this morning! We kept the pitch breaks short, the music blocks long, and exceeded our show goal of $2,000 in pledges. I hope you enjoyed listening to the show as much as we enjoyed producing it!
